Ways To Treat An Insulinoma

Radiofrequency Ablation

If an individual is not a good candidate for the surgical removal of an insulinoma or if the tumor is very small, they may require radiofrequency ablation, which is where a needle is inserted through the skin to the insulinoma with the use of guided imagery. This ensures the tumor is reached directly. Radiofrequency waves are then passed through the needle via an electrode to heat up the tumor, resulting in the death of the cancerous cells. This treatment has a very high success rate, so can be a good alternative to surgery in many insulinoma patients.
